Qantas Airlines hints at a new non-stop flight from London to Sydney by 2022

But what does this mean for Winged Boots customers? Anna-Marie Janssen, product manager for Winged Boots, says that it could open up the vast world of Australia to the UK traveller. “It will reduce flight times as you’re saving in the region of five-hours depending on operator, which only means one thing… you can get to the kangaroos faster!”
 
In March 2018, Qantas was the first airline to offer a non-stop flight from the UK to Australia. Jetting travellers 9,008-miles from London Heathrow to Perth, and taking just 16-hours and 45-minutes to get there and 17-hours and 20-minutes to return, it’s the longest flight that Qantas offer. First place belongs to Qatar’s Doha to Auckland service which travels 9,032 miles in the airline mile-olympics however, Singapore Airlines is in the process of launching a Singapore to New York service which would knock Qatar off the top spot if successful.
 
Perth and Sydney are around five air hours apart meaning that Quantas’ proposed 2022 direct route would mean that Londoners can get to all to the action of Oz that little bit faster, and can even embark on an Australian sight-seeing tour.
 
With London now home to the new non-stop flights to Perth, it seems that nothing can stop the Australian-based airline. Wellness is an important issue for Qantas who aim to make the long flight aboard a Dreamliner, literally fly by. So much so, that those boarding the soon-to-be Sydney flight and the current Perth flight can expect a whole new passenger experience.
 
An expert team including in-house industrial designer David Caon, airline’s chef partner, Neil Perry of the Rockpool Dining Group and Professor Steve Simpson at the Charles Perkins Centre of the University of Sydney, ensure that comfort is at the top of Qantas’ agenda.
